书背有两位汉学界的重量级人物,各为此书写了一段推介文字。麻省理工学院(MIT)的Peter Perdue教授说:饥荒是中国史上最重要的题材之一,这是人口与粮食之间永无间断的争斗。李教授从档案史料中,搜寻出非常广泛的数据数据与原始文献,所探讨的时期纵跨了三个世纪之长。历来研究中国饥荒问题的著作,在分析的成熟度上、数据的完整性上、讨论的深邃度上,都比不上这本书。我非常同意这项判断。
这本五百多页的巨着,包含27个表、28个图、16张地图、6张相片、61页注释、24页参考书目,处处显现作者二十年间的心血结晶,这是李明珠教授的传世之作。此书制作印刷非常精美,只是字体稍小,读起来耗眼力。
二十多年前我读邓云特《中国救荒史》(1937)时,一直希望看到较深入的分区个案研究。时间过得很快,李教授这本巨着远远超过我的预期。我一直注意各国的饥荒史研究,爱尔兰、印度、孟加拉国、非洲、芬兰的状况已有许多文献,现在这本《华北饥荒》,终于让国际学界等到企盼已久的中国案例。这本书的分量,更让我感到与有荣焉。
最后要提一件间接相关,但我认为很重要的事。目前在科罗拉多大学Boulder校区经济系任教的Carol Shiue,1999年在耶鲁大学取得经济学博士,论文主题是晚清的粮食贸易与储存,指导教授是Timothy Guinnane。这本论文是当年美国经济史学会的年度最佳博士论文奖之一,摘要见:“Grain Trade and Storage in Late Imperial China;” Journal of Economic History; 60(2):51115。
她毕业后任教于德州大学Austin校区经济系,2002年她发表一篇论文,分析中国米粮价格运送成本与市场的整合度:“Transport Costs and the Geography of Arbitrage in EighteenthCentury China;” American Economic Review; 92(5):140619。这是中国经济史的题材,首次登上这么重要的经济学期刊。两年后,Shiue发表第二篇重要论文:“Local Granaries and Central Government Disaster Relief: Moral Hazard and Intergovernmental Finance in Eighteenth and NieenthCentury China;” Journal of Economic History; 64(1):10024。2007年,她和在同系任教的丈夫Wolfgang Keller,再度发表重要论文,对比中国和欧洲米粮市场的整合度:“Markets in China and Europe on the Eve of the Industrial Revolution;” American Economic Review; 97(4):1189216。29我的用意是要说明:一、李明珠和Carol Shiue这两位女性学者,在国际学术界做出引人注目的中国经济史研究成果。二、Shiue运用经济与计量分析工具,把中国的数字与故事,转化成非常高质量的成果,更是中国经济史研究者应该学习效法的模范。

中国经济史英文论文参考书目










以下是1949年之前,中国与台湾经济史的英文论文参考书目。这是我的私房阅读清单,并非都是值得推荐的佳作。目的是方便自己查索,顺便提供读者参考,当然有许多好文章没列举到。我用最简单的姓氏与年份排序,没有做题材性的分门别类。中文的经济史单篇论文,请参见《中国经济史研究》(季刊)、《中国社会经济史研究》(季刊)、《经济史》(双月刊,复印非经济史专业期刊的相关论文)。有两套论文选集可以参考:(1)《中国经济发展史论文选集》上下册,台北:联经(1980,收录中英论文42篇)。(2) Michael Dillon (2008) ed。: Key Papers on Chinese Economic History up to 1949; Kent: Global Oriental (48 texts in 2 volumes)。中英文的经济史专书,很容易在图书馆或网络内搜寻到。
